Ronnie Hadley

Master Artist | Realism | Coverup Specialist 

Ronnie’s obsession with art began as early as he can remember, leading him to pick up his first machine at the age of 19. Since officially launching his career in 2000, he has navigated everything from high-school “stick-and-poke” experiments to surviving a hurricane-induced apprenticeship in Houston. Today, with 25 years of professional experience, Ronnie is a pillar of the Inked Las Vegasteam, where he thrives on the high energy of an all-star crew and the flagship studio environment.

A true “Tattooing Avenger,” Ronnie specializes in Realism, Black & Grey, and Color. He has earned a reputation as a premier Coverup Specialist, driven by a philosophy that a master craftsman should be able to turn “trash into treasure.” He finds immense satisfaction in transforming tattoos that clients once hid into custom artwork they are proud to show off. Whether it’s a technically demanding portrait or a complex “neon mashup,” Ronnie approaches every project with the goal of making it deeply important to the guest.

Inspired by the “human condition” and a long lineage of industry legends like Paul Booth and Nikko Hurtado, Ronnie’s work is a reflection of a life spent absorbing art in all its forms. Outside the studio, his creativity extends into jewelry making; he and his wife founded Sin City Diamonds, creating custom, made-to-order pieces. When he isn’t at the machine or the jeweler’s bench, you might find him training dogs, gold prospecting, or practicing Muay Thai.
